  • was he gonna say "horse" at 7:40 ? :P

  • at 1:52, why not white pawn to D5? as a response to the previous knight move? I don't get this opening at all.

  • This guy did the Alekhine's Defense, Mokele Mbembe against me (1. e4 Nf6 2. e5 Ne4) so I was like what's up holmes 3. d3 Nc5 4. d4 Na4 5. c4 Nc6 6. b3 Nb6 7. a3 both his knights got stuck 7...d6 8. h3 dxe5 9. Nf3 exd4 he wanted a knight trade but I gridlocked his pawn instead (10. Bd3) then 10...e5 11. O-O g5 12. Nxg5 Bh6 13. Qh5 Bxg5 14. Bxg5 Qd6 15. Nd2 h6 16. Ne4 Qg6 he wanted a queen trade but I checked his king and did a discovered attack on his queen (17. Nf6+ Ke7 18. Bxg6) and he quit ay.

  • you have to hope that the other player makes those moves above.

  • This is freaking stupid. The odds of all this happening is 1 in a billion

  • @Wuzzysbrand06 In portuguese it really is "horse" :P

  • @Wuzzysbrand06 You know that originally chess pieces were NOT called Knights and Bishops.

  • @koekjeeee b/c f Ne5 which attacks the bishop and c4 pawn. Black either gets the bishop pair, or a pawn

  • @koekjeeee because if white plays pawn d5, black can play knight to e5, which attacks white's bishop, and is a great outpost positionally for his knight. By playing pawn d5, white is handing is control over the centre to black's knight.

  • @koekjeeee because it develops your queen too quickly
